24 Islanders including myself recently headed off to trek 80km
across the Western Ghats mountain range in the southern state of
Kerala in India in aid of the Jersey Cheshire home. We experienced
the wettest monsoon season in 50 years,heat and humidity,
landslides, flooded tents! Leeches in the jungle and hills so steep
they were treacherous to climb up and down. There were a couple of
injuries on the way ,But everybody helped each other and when the
sun shone on our final day the views at 8,600 feet were
spectacular. We all completed the Challenge and helped raise over
£75,000.00. The Jersey Cheshire home provides a permanent home for
disabled adults.

This year is the homes 30th Anniversary and with all the fund
raising that has taken place throughout the year £300,000.00 has
been raised. A big Thank you to all those who supported me along
the way.
